Corrected entry: When Tom Riddle is talking to Professor Slughorn about horcruxes, Slughorn mentions that you have to kill to make a horcrux as it rips the soul apart. Tom Riddle says, "Can you only split the soul once, for instance seven?" This shows that Tom was planning to make seven horcruxes, however he only intentionally created six horcruxes and as Dumbledore said in 'Deathly Hallows Pt 2', "You were the horcrux Voldemort never intended to make, Harry". Surely Tom would have said six horcruxes then, not seven.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009)
Corrected entry: In the scene where Draco Malfoy attacks Dumbledore, Bellatrix Lestrange walks in wearing dark lipstick. The camera switches to a side view of Draco, and Bellatrix kisses him on the back of the head, and she is wearing no lipstick. The Camera goes to Dumbledore, then back to Draco and Bellatrix, and her lipstick has reappeared.
Correction: Bellatrix is always wearing lipstick. From a front camera angle, her lipstick appears dark. When her face is seen in profile, a bright light source shining directly on her face highlights her features, including her lips, making them only appear lighter, but we still see its shine.

Correction: Sorry, but this incorrect, and the film has muddled it a bit. Riddle's (Voldemort) intent was to split his soul into seven pieces by making six horcruxes "in addition" to the soul piece left inside his body. He believed that "7" was the most magical number. Harry became an accidental horcrux, which then made seven horcruxes in all, plus the soul shard that was left in Voldemort. That made eight soul fragments total, but only Dumbledore, and later Snape, knew about the one inside Harry. It was only before his final confrontation with Voldemort that Harry learned he carried a horcrux. Voldemort never knew about the horcrux inside Harry.
